Before I knew it, it was late at night, and only the night watchman was left in the criminal department.

"My lord, aren't you going back?" Gao Jin asked.

"It's too late now, so I just won't go back, and there are still many files to read." Wen Jing bowed his head and said, and continued to read the file after speaking.

"It's for Lord Zhao's case, right?" Gao Jindao.

Wen Jing nodded, looked up at the middle-aged man and asked, "How many years have you been in the Criminal Department?" ”

"It's been more than ten years, but it's a pity that I'm still a servant, and I haven't grown at all, unlike Lord Wen who is in a high position at a young age." Gao Jin said a little shyly.

Looking at this somewhat shy middle-aged man, Wen Jing smiled and said, "You have been working hard in the Criminal Department for more than ten years, this is already not easy, don't be presumptuous." ”

Gao Jin smiled and stopped making a sound, just standing quietly aside.

"What is your impression of Zhao Shenghua?" Wen Jing asked.

As if he didn't expect Wen Jing to ask him for his opinion, Gao Jin thought for a moment and said, "Although they don't like Lord Zhao, I think Lord Zhao is a good official." ”

Wen Jing just asked casually, but Gao Jin's answer caught her attention.

"Why?"

"Lord Zhao often sits here until late at night, sometimes he doesn't even go home, he finds a place to lie down and sleep with his clothes together, he has been promoted from a small pavilion chief to a waiter in the criminal department, which is also because of Lord Zhao's own efforts." Gao Jin's eyes were full of admiration.

Wen Jing is noncommittal, from this point of view, Zhao Shenghua is indeed very dedicated, but everyone's path to success is different, Zhao Shenghua obviously wants to take a shortcut.

Seeing that Wen Jing did not speak. Gao Jin thought that he had said something that he shouldn't say, so he hurriedly whispered: "The villain is foolish, don't take it to heart." ”

"You have followed Zhao Shenghua for so many years, tell me about the impressive cases you have investigated over the years." Wen Jing bowed his head and said.

Gao Jin is not good at words, although he has said many cases, but there is almost no case that impresses Wen Jing specially, almost like reading a file, Gao Jin said that his mouth was dry, and Wen Jing listened to it tastelessly. I listened a little sleeper.

"It's a pity that Lord Wen is also a pity. Originally, when Lord Shangshu returned to his hometown, Lord Wen was the next Lord Shangshu, but he didn't expect Lord Wen to be demoted. Gao Jin said regretfully.

Suddenly, I heard Gao Jin mention Wen Qiran, about being demoted. Wen Qiran has always been secretive. Wen Jing also asked him tentatively a few times. But Wen Qiran always brushed it off, and didn't seem to want to mention the case.

"What's that big deal?" Wen Jing looked up and asked.

Gao Jin shook his head: "It's not a big case, it's just that a few beggars died." As for the specific reason, the villain is not clear, this is not something that the villain can know. ”

Beggar? This was a big surprise to Wen Jing, even if the case was wrong, the lives of a few beggars would not let Wen Qiran be demoted by five or six levels in a row? She is naturally not naïve enough to think that this is a society where everyone is equal, it seems that she has to ask Wen Qiran when she will have to ask, I am afraid that there is something else hidden in this.

Before he knew it, the sky was white, and Wen Jing stretched his waist.

"My lord, let's send you home." Gao Jindao.

"Okay."

Wen Jing suddenly remembered that in the past, in modern times, there was a set of toiletries in the office, and when he was busy, he would lie on the office sofa for a while, and then work in the office in the morning, and go to the morgue while nibbling bread, which is probably completely unimaginable to ordinary people.

When I returned to Wen's house, I saw a few people cleaning the yard and making breakfast.

"Ahh Both the lord and the lady were worried about dying. When Mama He saw Wen Jing, she hurriedly complained.

"There is something in the yamen, and it is delayed." Wen Jing said lightly.

"Qi Niang, where did you go last night? You didn't return a few days ago, and you've been getting more and more disagreeable lately, and you're so busy in the yamen that you don't even have to sleep? Mrs. Wen suddenly walked over and said with a displeased face.

"I'm sorry, mother, Qi Niang knew that she was wrong, and she won't be in the future." Wen Jing said.

"Don't take it as an example." Mrs. Wen said coldly.

Wen Jing walked back to his room, although he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel too sleepy, after taking a shower, he suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, so he went to have breakfast, and happened to meet Wang Jue, seeing that he was tired, it was as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Why is Seventeen Lang getting more and more worried?" Wen Jing smiled.

Wang Jue sighed: "I accidentally won the emperor yesterday"

Accidentally, he won the emperor, Wen Jing was speechless, I am afraid that the saint has not suffered a defeat for many years.

"What is the reaction of the Holy One?" Wen Jing asked.

The saint was silent for a long time, stared at the chessboard for a long time, and then left without saying anything. Wang Jue said.

Wen Jing chuckled in his heart, it's over, usually the more silent the saint is, the more angry he is, and the greater the "revenge" will come in the future.

"Why don't you pack up and go back to Jiangnan, don't go to Hanlin Academy." Wen Jing looked at Wang Jue and said.

Looking at Wen Jing's nervous look, Wang Jue was a little speechless, he won a game of chess, as for it?

"It's okay, I don't believe that the Holy One can cut off my head, and if I dismiss the official, I will dismiss the official, but it will save trouble."

Wen Jing nodded, although the saint is stingy and loves face, but fortunately, there is no problem of cutting off people's heads at every turn, at least his life is worry-free.

Wen Qiran also walked over.

"Father, early."

"Uncle Wen is early."

"Morning, what are you two talking about?" Wen Qiran smiled.

"Uncle Wen, Qi Niang, you talk slowly, I'll go out first." Wang Jue said.

After Wang Jue left, Wen Jing glanced at Wen Qiran: "Father, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Looking at Wen Jing's appearance, Wen Qiran smiled and said, "Is there anything else that can't be asked between our father and daughter, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Wen Jing's heart warmed, and then asked: "Father, last night I happened to hear Gao Jin talk about your past in the Criminal Department, he said that everyone originally thought that you were the one who wanted to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, but because of a case where a beggar was killed, you were demoted, is that so?" ”

Wen Qiran's face changed, his smile disappeared, and he said lightly: "Don't mention that matter in the future, it's all over, when did Gao Jin become so broken." ”

Seeing Wen Qiran pull down his face, Wen Jing stopped asking, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.

Seeing that Wen Jing was silent, Wen Qiran's face softened a little, and he spoke: "How is Zhao Shenghua's case?" ”

"I don't have a clue yet, Zhao Shenghua's son suspicion has been ruled out, by the way, father, Zhao Shenghua used to be in the Criminal Department, what is the financial situation?" Wen Jing asked.

"Zhao Shenghua's person, I'm afraid his salary is spent on online people and wine, my father feels that he used to want to be promoted and wanted to go crazy, if it weren't for that demotion, maybe I would be similar to Zhao Shenghua, Zhao Shenghua's dedication to power is far better than mine." Wen Qiran sighed and said.

Wen Jing put down the dishes and chopsticks, and thought, Zhao Shenghua's silver doesn't seem to have been accumulated for a long time, how can he know who gave him that money?

"Father, do you know what enemies Zhao Shenghua has?" Wen Jing asked.

"That's a lot to say, the families of the deceased or the families of the prisoners in many cases have threatened to kill Zhao Shenghua." Wen Qiran said.

"If one of them killed Zhao Shenghua, who did you think of first?" Wen Jing continued to ask.

Wen Qiran pondered for a moment and said: "There is really such a person, who often went to the Criminal Department last year to make trouble, clamoring for Zhao Shenghua's blood debts and blood repayment, and was arrested several times, but then somehow, that person has never been seen." ”

Wen Jing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"Meng Changle, who lives on Changping Street, originally had a happy family, but then his wife was insulted by the adulterer, and he hanged himself when he couldn't figure it out, but Zhao Shenghua thought it was adultery, and the adulterer had alibi evidence, and in the end, Meng Changle's family was ruined, so he came to Yamen every day to make trouble, thinking that his wife was raped first and then killed, and asked Zhao Shenghua to overturn the case." Wen Qiran recalled.

It seems that he is going to meet this Meng Changle for a while, he saw that Zhao Shenghua was down, so he set a trap to kill Zhao Shenghua, from the scars on Zhao Shenghua's body, it can be seen that the murderer hates Zhao Shenghua to the core, but the suspicion is that if Zhao Shenghua finds that it is Meng Changle in the carriage, he will definitely not get on the car, the person in the car may be someone else Meng Changle is looking for, or Zhao Shenghua is not voluntary, but was pulled into the car, Wen Jing said that she decided to inform Ji Changge of this situation

When Wen Jing arrived at Dali Temple, he found that several guards were carrying a man covered in blood into Dali Temple, who had a bruised head and face, but looked a little familiar, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Who is this man?"

"Lord Huiwen, this person is the owner of the Yunlai Inn, Bai Zhaoxian." Ding Wudao.

It turned out to be the owner of Yunlai Inn, no wonder it looked so familiar, Wen Jing said, looked at the body of the white shopkeeper, and it looked like he had been beaten to death.

The body was sent to the autopsy room, and Liu Wuhuan followed in, and the door was closed.

Ji Changge looked at Wen Jing and said, "Qi Niang, why are you here?" ”

"I'll tell you something, but why did Bai Zhaoxian, the owner of this Yunlai Inn, suddenly die?" Wen Jing asked.

"It seems that because of a money dispute, I was beaten by a gang of bandits, and the case is under investigation." Ji Chang sang.

Wen Jing simply told Ji Changge about Meng Changle.

"Okay, this Meng Changle I will let Ding Wu investigate clearly, this clue is very useful, thank you Qi Niang." Ji Chang sang.

At this time, Liu Wuhuan walked out and said to Ji Changge: "The deceased Bai Zhaoxian was beaten to death with a stick, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his whole body was covered with scars, and there are many people who can prove that they saw the group of bandits beating Bai Zhang's shopkeeper with their own eyes, and the cause of death is correct. ”

Wen Jing's nose moved slightly, and Liu Wuhuan seemed to have a faint special smell on her body, which she had never smelled before.

"Did the gang catch it?" Ji Changge asked.

"Ding Wu has already led someone to chase him, I believe that he will be arrested soon, please rest assured." Liu Wuhuan said.

Wave after wave of unsettled, Zhao Shenghua's case has no clue, this is another death, and everyone can't help but feel a little heavy. (To be continued......)
